Functioning and applications
Two-axis tilt measurement and electronic compensation
The DFI420 uses electronic technology of
Angular measurement to determine the inclination
in two directions. The values can be displayed
directly on screen, making verification easier
of the longitudinal and transverse orientation
of a surface.
Its internal processing incorporates
axle offset,
which helps reduce cross-influence during
measurement, as well as temperature compensation
to improve the stability of the readings
under different working conditions.
With a range of ±90° and resolution
of 0,01°, allows measuring from
small leveling deviations up to
wide angular inclinations.
ABS/REL, ZERO, HOLD functions and slope measurement
The DFI420 inclinometer incorporates several functions
to facilitate leveling work
and angular verification:
- ABS (absolute measurement):
visualization of the tilt with respect to
to the instrument reference. - RELA (relative measurement):
reading angular differences taking
as a reference to a previously established position. - ZERO:
establishing the measurement reference
to perform relevant checks. - HOLD:
Temporary freezing of the value displayed on the screen. - Degrees and mm/m:
visualization of the angle or slope
expressed as a difference in elevation per meter.
The device incorporates adjustment functions
zero and guided angular calibration
from the instrument itself.
Magnetic fixation and measurement in different positions
He DFI420 features magnetic mounting,
which facilitates its placement on surfaces
ferromagnetic metals during operations
assembly, leveling and maintenance.
The casing design allows the use of
lateral and lower reference surfaces,
facilitating measurements in different
guidelines.
Its compact format, approximately
83 × 53 × 19.2 mm, and weight of
125 g allow it to be transported
and use it directly on the machine
or structure that needs to be checked.
LCD screen, rechargeable battery and USB connection
The DFI420 integrates a color LCD screen
with a visible area of 40 × 32 mm, which allows
consult the angular measurements and modes
operating directly on the instrument.
Feeding is done through a
3.7V rechargeable lithium battery.
The indicated charging time is approximately
3 hours, with a standby autonomy of up to
10 hours.
The 5-pin USB interface allows charging
battery life and features functionality
data transmission.
The device uses an aluminum alloy casing,
IP54 protection and withstands temperatures of
functioning of -10 to +70 °C.
Industrial applications of the DFI420
Machinery leveling
Checking the tilt of the machine beds,
tables, frames and reference surfaces
during installation or maintenance.
Mechanical alignment and assembly
Measurement of angular differences between
components and position verification
during adjustment operations.
Checking outstanding items
Measuring the slope of surfaces
and structures, with the possibility of representing
the slope in mm/m.
Pipe and platform installation
Orientation and slope verification
during assembly and installation work.
Equipment maintenance and control
Periodic angle checks
and verification of the position of elements
mechanical and industrial installations.
Frequently Asked Questions about the DFI420
What is the accuracy and resolution of the DFI420?
He DFI420 has an angular accuracy
of ±0.05°, resolution of 0.01°
and repeatability of 0.05°.
The resolution represents the increase
angular viewable and should not be confused
with the precision of measurement.
Can it be used to measure relative inclinations?
Yes. The DFI420 has measurement capabilities.
ABS/REL. Using the ZERO function
An initial reference can be established
and subsequently measure the differences
angular relative to that position.
How do you fix the DFI420 inclinometer?
It has magnetic attachment
and reference surfaces to facilitate
placement on metal parts
ferromagnetic during measurements.
Does the DFI420 require an external power supply?
It does not require a continuous external power supply.
to function as a portable instrument.
It integrates a rechargeable lithium battery.
3.7V and USB connection for charging.
